Very stable...good weight......love the double pull chains.....nice finish to the brushed nickel .....classy ........... really great quality for the price paid......quick delivery........ I will be looking for a drum shade to replace the one that came with the lamp, but only because it is a matter of personal taste.   Over all, we love our first Joss & Main purchase.....and am sure it will not be the last.  Thank you.
